Ms. Jetson's Lessons
My name is Ms. Jetson, I’ve come here from outer space.
My highly evolved people and I live on the most beautiful planet-
we created it ourselves.
It looked so much like this Earth
when we first arrived.
I’m here to tell you
education is your
paradise,
it’s all about relation-
communicating information.
First, I need to know, how does your being absorb? By sight, sound, or touch?
Is it muscle memory that moves the knowing through you?
When I’m speaking, does it feel best to stand, sit, lay down,
draw pictures, jump around? After all, you need to learn how you learn.
I’m here to teach you, not control you.
Don’t just sit there are stare, how silly.
Next, we’re going to learn about reactions.
You look scared, it’s not chemistry.
I’m talking about the reactions in your body and mind.
The most important lesson of all:
observe your own information.
Feeling frustration? If you notice thoughts of fear and agitation:
‘I can’t do it I don’t understand this is too much for me’
acknowledge them
and then look deeper in yourself for the truth.
Soon you learn how to choose your reactions
and you will know: you are not your thoughts.
Smile as they float by.
You are a hunter of truth and happiness. I will teach you how to see yourself.
Imagine
what you might enjoy studying when you know
that the way you learn, how much you learn and how you feel about learning
is not good or bad, it just is.
In case you don’t know it already,
you are perfect the way you are.
So, please, show me. Before
I can really teach you anything
I need to learn
about
you.
